IMPORTANT! I will be doing slower story updates to focus on school/other hobbies and taking it slow. I will still be updating chapters but, at a slower pace.

I quickly swipe my hair from my face, rushing to get my stuff together. I can't be a manager for a crazy popular boyband if I can't even get to school on time, I say in my head. I stuff my school books and other school necessities in my backpack. I rummage through my pantry to find some sort of nutrition for my body. I'll die if I don't have anything to eat for lunch, I say once again to myself. Pulling out one of my mom's energy bars which, also gets stuffed in my backpack I bolt out the door, running.
I don't stop running until I get to the school entrance. My lungs feel like fire as I walk up to the gate. A teacher with a scowl on his face sits at the entrance on a chair. I gulp my mind searching for a way to get out of this situation without getting a detention. Ignoring the burning feeling in my legs, I walk confidently past the teacher. I only make it a few paces past him when I hear his voice.
"Hey, you! Student with the (H/C) hair," the teacher barks out. Gottem I say in my head.
"Yes?" I say as I turn around hoping to sound unaware.
"Do you know what time it is?" He questions.
"Oh, right," I say innocently. "It's twelve minutes past the bell," I say as I recall the time.
"You know what that means, don't you? He questions getting more annoyed. How could this school have such a careless student he thought. I reach into my bag and pull out the special hall pass the vice principal had given me. Everything was so chaotic yesterday that even I had forgotten about it.
I hand it to the scowling teacher. I watch as his eyes widen. He clears his throat as he asks for my name. I kindly give it to him glad I can get to class. I'll have to be careful with how I use this, I say in my head. The vice principal was kind enough to give this to me. But as easily as it was given it could be taken away. Well, I'm glad that this school is proud of Enhypen for letting them go out early to practice at the agency. Giving them a club room to have some much-needed privacy and, giving me an unlimited hall pass with no date or signature required.
I skip happily through the halls, while I silently thank Sunghoon for naming me a manager. I go to the first class on my schedule - History. I take a deep breath to keep my composure as I open the door. Naturally, all the eyes in the classroom turn to me. I ignore them. I take my seat and the teacher continues her lesson.
At the end of the lesson the teacher, Mrs. Choi, announces that there will be a group project. A ripple of emotions flows through the room. Some happy and cheering, some sad and groaning. I was one of the ones sad and groaning. I knew what was in my future with Jungwon and Niki being in this class, I would be forced to work with them. I'm sure there would be many of my classmates that would die to be in my position. Maybe Niki would like that better who knows?
"Okay, guys quiet down," the teacher hushes. The class falls silent. "The group project will be in groups of three. The project will be a group presentation on a character in Ancient Greek Mythology."
Mrs. Choi lists all the groups for the project. Niki to my surprise, did not make a face nor glare at me. I guess he's smarter than I give him credit for. I also try my best to keep my calm and neutral facade up. I most definitely do not want there to be any more articles written about me. Hopefully, the company will release an official statement soon.
"Use the rest of the time we have left to discuss who you will be doing your presentation and hand it to me," the teacher explains.
The class of students breaks up into smaller assigned groups. Jungwon and I head toward Niki, who sits in the back of the classroom. We sit down and brainstorm referring to our old notes on a character in Ancient Greek Mythology.
"Hey, what about Zeus?" Niki asks.
Furrowing my eyebrows together I say, "Everyone is going to do Zeus."
Niki rolls his eyes he can't say much because he knows I'm right. Jungwon looks between the both of us hoping a fight doesn't break out.
"Fine, what's your great idea?" Niki questions sarcastically.
Unfortunately for him, I already have someone in mind. "Heracles," I say proudly.
"What's so special about him?" Niki argues.
"His death," I say cooly.
"Okay, what is so special about his death?" Niki asks not giving up.
"It's tragic which means we can easily capture the hearts of everyone in the room just by explaining his story."
"I have to agree with (Y/N)," Jungwon says hesitantly. He gives Niki an apologetic look while Niki glares at both of us. Smiling I quickly write down Heracles as our character and that our presentation will be on his story and the tragedy of his death.
Tuning in our paper we are free to do what we want until the next class. Niki and Jungwon decide to head toward their next class. Niki just walks away without saying anything and Jungwon quickly says goodbye with a small smile on his face. Waving goodbye I go get a drink from the vending machine that I can pair with the energy bar and eat it in my next class.
